Under $1000:

- coffee machine: coffee has now become part of our morning routine (coffee dates) where we sit and talk over coffee with the dog in our laps. Play around with different beans and blends. Saves money, fun to clean.

- proton mail/pass: I now have a super private email, and I spin up aliases when I need to sign up for something. 400+ aliases later and I get less spam, that I can destroy instantly.

- Hoka walking shoes: I have debilitating arthritis (under 30YO) and could barely walk a kilometre. These shoes allow me to walk upto 5kms a day without much pain.

Under $100:

- fallout 4 on PC: modding this old game and playing it on survival mode has reinvigorated my passion for gaming, it’s also unlocked a new hobby in modding existing games.

- automate the boring stuff with Python: this book got me in to programming, a relatively lucrative career and lifestyle booster.

- Ritalin: I’ve gone my whole life without knowing I had ADHD. Taking medication for it has been a complete game changer in terms of happiness and ability to relax
